Bansilal Abirchand vs Ghulam Mahbub Khan on 20 October, 1925
In the case reported in AIR 1925 PC 290 (Bansilal Abirchand v. Ghulam Mahbub Khan) in effect it has been held that a plea of want of jurisdiction of the court to entertain the suit, though abandoned in one court, can be raised in the higher court. That plea was again a pure question of law cutting at the root of the maintainability of the suit in the court in which it was filed, and it was found in that case that that court had no jurisdiction to entertain the said suit.
